13. For I am the Lord your Godwho takes hold of your right handand says to you, Do not fear;I will help you.
14. Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob,little Israel, do not fear,for I myself will help you,’ declares the Lord,your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15. ‘See, I will make you into a threshing-sledge,new and sharp, with many teeth.You will thresh the mountains and crush them,and reduce the hills to chaff.
16. You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up,and a gale will blow them away.But you will rejoice in the Lordand glory in the Holy One of Israel.
